Hotmail Login & Safari

I've got a strange problem with logging into hotmail through Safari at the moment...

Whenever I try to login I am continually bounced between hotmail and login.live.com and passport addresses via secure and unsecure connections then taken back to the signin screen.

Same happens whether i try to login after remembering email address only, both email and password or neither.

It appears to be a cookie related problem because if i clear them and try again it logs in ok.

Working fine in firefox as well.

Is it just me or is anyone else having this problem?

Re: Hotmail Login & Safari

Did you do anything to fix it when it happened to you, or did it just fix itself?

Been going on for over a week and it's a pain because Microsoft Messenger opens Safari as the default browser when you click email, and it is hassle to fire up firefox just for hotmail....

Re: Hotmail Login & Safari

Out of interest Chris, what are your cookie settings ? Hotmail is a pain at the best of times. I keep strict control of my cookies, in Opera, and had to fiddle with them to get to my hotmail, as I kept bouncing back to the login screen when trying to sign in.
